Research on Black Holes

Research on black holes explores some of the universe's most intriguing phenomena, where gravitational forces are so intense that nothing—not even light—can escape. Scientists study their properties, formation through collapsing stars, and effects on surrounding matter. Notably, the Event Horizon Telescope captured the first image of a black hole's event horizon, providing visual evidence of their existence. Gravitational waves, generated by black hole collisions, offer insights into their behavior. This research enhances our understanding of gravity, space-time, and the fundamental laws of physics, pushing the boundaries of what we know about the universe.
